Chapter 250: It could be smaller
Liu Meng repeatedly recited this sentence "thirst for knowledge, humility if foolishness", this is an almost ascetic-like pursuit of innovation, constantly advancing like a new peak, Apple's products are different from others, Apple's products are like her helmsman Jobs, refusing to be vulgar, a company's product characteristics are influenced by the founder, which is like the spirit of the bright sword.
At the end of the speech, Stanford's heavenly pride applauded for five minutes, which was a recognition of Jobs' talent and respect from the heart.
Three days later, Liu Meng finally got a meeting with Jobs at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, and it was the plump beauty with big wavy golden eyes at the front desk who led Liu Meng up, and said exaggeratedly without touching his chest: "Wow, you are amazing, Mr. Jobs actually met you." ”
Liu Meng was also in a good mood, and joked: "Of course, I've always told the truth, and I won't tell a lie, just like this, you are really a cute and beautiful girl." ”
American girls love humor the most, after listening to Liu Meng, the girl giggled and laughed very happily, "Mr. Meng, you are really a gentleman, I believe that the lovely and beautiful lady will be willing to date you." ”
Liu Meng thought to himself that American girls are really open, and if they think you are more nice, they will open their mouths to invite, so if the date feels good, the rest of the matter will fall into place, and he changed the topic and said: "You should call me Mr. Liu, or Meng, our Chinese people have a different naming method than you Americans." ”
It caused the girl to giggle again, and handed a business card of her to Liu Meng and smiled: "Dear Mr. Liu." If you're in Cupertino and want someone to talk to, you can call me. ”
Liu Meng took the business card and nodded with a smile. When I arrived at Jobs's office, there were two other engineers arguing with Jobs, and one of the Indian engineers hesitated and said, "Mr. Jobs, our latest iPod has been simplified in its entirety, and we can't make any changes to make it lighter and thinner, unless we make it clear to ourselves from the inside out." ”
Jobs took the prototype of the latest generation of iPods and played around for a while. Without saying a word, he began to carefully analyze the device again, half an hour later. Jobs insisted, "This prototype is too heavy to hold, too big, and you have to keep working on it." ”
Another white engineer insisted: "Mr. Jobs, this is already the end result." It's impossible to make your iPod smaller. ”
Jobs was silent for a moment. Then stand up, walk to the edge of the fish tank, and throw the iPod prototype directly into the fish tank, and when the iPod bottoms out, bubbles come to the surface. Steve Jobs said, "Look! There are bubbles, which means there is room to continue to reduce the size!"
The two engineers stared blankly at the iPod prototype bubbling in the bathtub and Jobs' grim and unquestionable face, nodded and withdrew.
Liu Meng was shocked in his heart. Jobs's pursuit of the product did reach an intolerable paranoia, but it was this impossible request that ultimately made Apple. No one will succeed casually, especially for a company, strive to do the best, rules are used to break, follow these principles to make people better, enterprises more successful.
Only then did Jobs notice Liu Meng coming in, and said with a smile: "Young man, sit down, tell me what you have to do with me, I believe you are not a grandstanding and pompous person." ”
Jobs never had half a sentence of nonsense, he often said that there is not much time, and the waste of false politeness is never allowed, Liu Meng has never been in contact with such a direct person, and the Chinese people are tactful by nature, and they are all around the bush when they do things and speak, so naturally they don't beat around the bush, and immediately said: "I hope to use your influence to let as many Americans as possible know about me in the shortest possible time." ”
Liu Meng was very confident when he finished saying this request, and he did not have a posture of asking for help, he believed that as long as the key technology of the iPhone was in my hands, Apple must cooperate with me, as a kind of cooperation, this kind of request is not too much.
Jobs looked at Liu Meng's expression a little strangely, he didn't expect him to say such a thing, and he didn't expect to be able to maintain such an expression after saying this, and replied: "Young man, I appreciate your courage and self-confidence very much, but life has never been unearned, I am not an almighty God, nor am I a philanthropist, why should I help you?" My credo in life is that there must be a reward for giving, and it must be sown before harvesting, we can chat like friends, such as talking about women, the girl named Anna who brought you in just now is very spicy, and she is the dream lover of the boys in our company. ”
Liu Meng was a little stunned for a while, his heart vibrated slightly, and he wanted to talk to Jobs, but suddenly he was a little hesitant, whether to use this resource, and now it is still a bit early to throw out the patented technology.
Jobs continued as if he guessed what Liu Meng was thinking: "Make good use of the resources you have, no one is absolutely poor, Nothing, no wisdom when usually have perseverance, no experience when usually have youth and time, no wealth when usually have the desire to have it, even if the so-called nothing still has a relaxed re-emergence mentality, so useless is a false proposition, everyone has resources, successful people are using their own resources to achieve the desired purpose. ”
Liu Meng was about to throw out the monopoly of patented technology, but Jobs changed his mind after a word, in addition to the resources of patented technology, he has at least a lot of resources, as Jobs said, as long as he is good at using it, he can completely achieve the purpose of becoming famous in the United States, so that there is the greatest possibility of being seen by Gu Pan, so that she can take the initiative to find herself.
Instead of looking for a needle in a haystack, let yourself become a big magnet and let this needle automatically attract from the sea.
After Jobs finished speaking, he looked at Liu Meng, Liu Meng didn't say a word of nonsense, and solemnly bent down and said to Jobs: "Thank you, I'm leaving, but Mr. Jobs, please keep the paper I gave you, I still believe that you will use it one day, and it is worth 100 billion." ”
After saying that, Liu Meng turned around and left, and Jobs's voice sounded behind him, "Okay, I'm looking forward to when I need to use it, it must be very exciting." (To be continued......)
